It's always a bit awkward having to find ways to explain what my work situation is. It inevitably comes up.

I have a therapist appointment today. That's awkward, too, because I've grown to feel she is offering me very little. I imagine she gets the wind of that dissatisfaction. Maybe she thinks I'm not a good fit as a client for her. I'm still sort of grieving the loss of my last therapist. I adored my last therapist and she was so extremely helpful, but she had to move far from my home. It's such a pity! I really need a good therapist right now. I find I'm leaning heavily on my beloved psychiatrist. He knows that and has been giving me more appointments and an extra 10 mins to each, lately. My current therapist knows this, too. I'm not very careful about hiding this fact. My psychiatrist is like a father figure to me, and I've known him for about 14 years. I see him a lot more often than my own father.


My husband is also good with people all around ....me, on the other hand not so much.

The “ what work do you do question “ I loathe it. I usually say I work from home, then turn it around and saying and what do you do and act like I care , usually bores me to death but I put in the effort.

Omg T ‘s. I had the same T for 7 years when we moved flying Florida I couldn’t find one , we move back here I was told he retired, I tried a new T it was useless, he offered no help and mainly talked about himself and his depression ... wtf

My old Richard actually had not retired and I’m back with him , he has saved my life many times , he’s 68 with no plans to retire so until he physically or mentally can’t manage he plans to continue.

I will quit therapy once he’s done. I refuse to even try another T. I don’t know how to do Therapy without him.

I will just have to remember everything I have learned from him

Do you think you might need to ditch this one and try someone else?
